[quote:Anonymous Coward 45103959:MV8yMzIyNTA0XzM5NjE5NjUyXzI2MkRGQkM2] [quote:anonymous 44792547:MV8yMzIyNTA0XzM5NjE2NDA3XzcwRDczRjM0] So much delusion, the 144,000 are "witnesses" NOT ones raptured. Then the 144,000 are NOT ALL JEWS, only 12,000, the others are of"the other tribes of Israel...". Judah are the Jews and no one else. [/quote] [quote:Lisa*Lisa:MV8yMzIyNTA0XzM5NjE3MzcwXzFDMDE0REIw] [quote:ByFaithAlone:MV8yMzIyNTA0XzM5NjEyMDM4XzQzMkU0RUVE] [quote:Anonymous Coward 45222382:MV8yMzIyNTA0XzM5NjExOTUwXzZDQkY1Mzg=] Those who argue for such an exclusive 144k rapture always do so to their own favor. The teachings of men invariably prefer themselves. [/quote] Lack of understanding I think. I almost 100% believe I will not be among the 144,000. They are special of Jewish blood probably male and most likely virgin. [/quote] The blood line, gender and virgin status is only symbolic, not literal. There are gentile women included in that group, who are not physical virgin. I could go into more detail about this, but many people who "think" they know everything will rage, and I'm not into debates because it just is what it is. :) :hf: [/quote] Thank you both for correcting. Your comments are like eing given a key to look into a mystery :) I will have to look into this as it delves beneath the surface of the textual representation. I do see the possibility when tied with the teachings Paul and James.:hf: [/quote]
Original Message
What are your thoughts concerning the rapture? Yes or no? Pre or post tribulation? This is not an issue about core doctrine and either way does not effect your ability to be a Christian. So lets try to keep it civil because there is alot of passion within our beliefs.
I am looking for your basis what you believe and why you believe it and how do you defend it to others.
